Without the world powers like Russia, the USA and Europe the promotion
of Armenian-Turkish relations is impossible and these powers make
pressure both on Turkey and the states in the South Caucasus, the head
of the Caucasus Institute Alexander Iskandaryan said at Yerevan-Moscow
telebridge on Armenian-Turkish relations.
"The promotion of relations with Turkey is possible without any
preconditions despite the statements made by the Turkish party being
quite different," he said. According to the politician, there are
some perspectives for reconciliation. "I don’t say this will happen
necessarily or will happen soon. Nevertheless, the possibility for
the continuation of this process is not equal to null," Iskandaryan
said, underscoring that the significance of Russia in this process
is indisputable.
